Florida DR-219 Form is Repealed as of 06/1/2008

Beginning June 1, 2008:

?The requirement to complete and file Form DR-219 is repealed. ?The Department of Revenue will not process DR-219 forms received. ?Destroy all blank DR-219 forms in your inventory.

The repeal of the requirement to complete and file Form DR-219 does not impact documentary stamp tax payment and filing requirements. Documentary stamp tax continues to be due on all documents that convey an interest in Florida real property. The tax must be paid at the time of recording with the Clerks of Court or County Recorders if the document is recorded prior to the 20th day of the month following the month the document is delivered. The tax must be paid directly to the Department of Revenue by the 20th day of the month following the month the document is delivered if the document is not recorded before. Delinquent payment of tax will continue to be subject to penalty and interest charges.
